Monday, already? I actually had a pretty low key weekend and am feeling on the downside of my head cold so fingers crossed that it's behind me! I did get a few things done around the house and that's always a good feeling. :) One of the things on my list was to put my dining room "back together." I may not have shared that last May my parents loaded up our family piano and drove it to Austin for my older sister, who is experiencing a … [Read more...]
DIY Chevron Deer Head Wall Decor
November 7, 2014 by · 7 Comments
Well, THAT title is a mouthful, isn't it!? Happy Friday, y'all! Today I'm sharing a fun new project that has me swooning and ready to deck the halls... well, sorta. What I love about this is that you could use it year round in your decor. Think "rustic chic" for holiday and everyday. :) I spotted these unfinished wood deer heads online at Unfinished Wood Company. If you haven't heard of them, click immediately over to their website. … [Read more...]
Director’s Office Makeover {a Labor of Love}
September 4, 2014 by · 4 Comments
I can't believe it's September, can you? It feels like we've already been in school forever, but I'm never quite ready to give up summer. Plus we inevitably have a heat wave in September that has you bemoaning the fact that the neighborhood pool is closed. It's one of those weird weather months around here so I'm leery to welcome fall just yet. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement and love for us and my stepson. It was … [Read more...]
What I’m Reading, Working on, and Loving…

We had a soggy weekend here... Not a total washout, but my hopes of getting poolside were dashed by the to do list and off and on storms and showers. The upside? I got my DIY back on and finished a book. Among other productive things like back to school stuff and getting the college kids somewhat situated. So today's a great day to share some snippets of what's going on... I just finished Save the Date by Mary Kay Andrews. She's become one … [Read more...]

August 1?? Oh am I fighting those end of summer blues as we get ready to start school on Monday. Boo. Even though my July turned out to be on quiet side here on the old blog, I thought in the interest of keeping up I'd go ahead and recap it for you... just in case! And just for fun, I'm throwing in Instagram photos, because they tell a most accurate story of my month. :) I shared this Waterlogue flag you can print out for your own … [Read more...]
Before & After: ASCP Duck Egg Desk (and Haven-bound!)

Hi friends! This post-holiday week has gotten away from me -- I hope you all enjoyed a lovely 4th of July weekend! We spent it with friends in Huntsville, AL, lounging beside their mountain-top pool, eating way too much good food, and loving on their three lively pooches. I sped home late Saturday so I could send my teen missionary on his way to Marvell, Arkansas. They're having a fantastic week of doing God's work in that small community and … [Read more...]
In Case You Missed It x2 (April and May)
June 2, 2014 by · 1 Comment
Y'all I'm so far behind, I never recapped April! And since my feed was doing wonky things in late April/early May, I figured it warranted a quick recap of both months! I finally was able to regroup a bit after the crowd of young adults left on Saturday... things will be a tad quieter here now, so I've been working on some new DIY ideas and gathering supplies for a couple of home projects (yay summertime!). But before we embark on June, let's … [Read more...]
Before & After: Vintage Bed Makeover
April 14, 2014 by · 3 Comments
Monday, monday -- and AGAIN with the rain on the way! Ugh... at least it will knock the pollen down a bit #thinkingpositive. The hubs and I traveled to Mississippi over the weekend to lay a cousin to rest. Though it was a sad occasion, I always love seeing my extended family and was treated to time with my dad, too. So it was a quick weekend, with not a lot getting done on the home front, but so it goes, right? I have not-so-great photos … [Read more...]

Woo hoo! My first furniture project in a WHILE... so happy to have this cutie pie finished up and ready to share. And I tried something new this time... a two tone look. Ok, this was my first go-round with the Minwax Polyshades so you'll have to let me know what you think... First, let's take a look at this lady before... I scored this lady some time ago and loved her lines and versatility with the drop leaves! And I … [Read more...]
